Useful, but getting the things open is usually the biggest challenge.

Beautifully simple! After another thread on here a year or so ago I bought a bottle of Liquiwire Conductive Paint but I have yet to use it in anger. I see eBay has a few similar products including a pack of 500 pieces different size pads from a UK seller.

At least in a way where you can close them again afterwards

I really had given up on one, but then I came across a duffer on a radio rally stall for 10p. Forced it apart to solve the mystery.

Especially when they hide one very small screw under a label as happened a few weeks ago

Interesting things, I wonder if they're any good for stuff that gets repetitive use like the mute button or a burglar alarm panel (mine wore out and after a few repairs with silver paint I eventually replaced the whole panel).

I see they also do the entire conductive rubber pads as well (aliexpress).

The blurb suggests they're ideal for 'game consoles' and similar toys.

True but Big Clive and his spudger always seems to find a way in!, one moment pleese.
